A programme of archaeological testing consisting of 11 linear trenches with a combined length of 795m was undertaken at the site to inform any potential impacts on unrecorded subsurface archaeological features in the event of future development. A number of these trenches were designed to target anomalies identified during a previous geophysical survey (licence 24R0217). The site showed evidence of disturbance caused by previous ground works, such as geological trial pits and other mechanically excavated areas, clearance and levelling of the lands, drainage systems and works related to the overhead powerline pole sets.
No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the testing programme.
